Available in a standard gift box, a luxury edition gift box or a wooden presentation box

Collates a variety of newspaper clippings from the date of your choice

No photocopies or reproductions, this is the real thing!

Our Original Newspaper from 1968 is a unique and personal gift that's guaranteed to make their golden anniversary even more special. Our gift box options add an extra touch of class and include a personalised Certificate of Authenticity, with the recipient's name and a message of your choice.

There's no better way to own a piece of history than with a newspaper from the actual date it was printed. There are no cheap photocopies or reproductions, only the real thing taken straight from the archives complete with the distinctive smell and unmistakable feel of an old newspaper.

Personalisation:

Personalise the certificate with a name in up to 30 characters, an occasion in up to 40 characters and a personal message in up to 70 characters to appear over two lines.

We will personalise the certificate exactly how it is entered so please ensure all spelling and punctuation is correct.

A number of newspaper groups do not print on Good Friday or Christmas Day.

Some dates on which special events took place may also incur additional charges (this is because they are much rarer newspapers than other dates), but our team will contact you prior to dispatch to confirm you wish to proceed with the additional cost.

Gift Box Options:

We have a choice of presentation boxes to help complete your gift. Our red Standard Gift Box comes printed with 'A Day to Remember' in elegant silver foil. The newspaper itself is delicately wrapped in tissue and carefully packed with the Certificate of Authenticity.

The dark green Premium Gift Box is silver embossed with 'A Day to Remember...' on the front cover and is almost twice the size of our standard gift box.

Or pull out all the stops with the elegantly hand-made Wooden Presentation Box. Lined with lavish red felt, the box features two brass hinges and a locking catch that ensures the Original Newspaper will always be safe. There’s no better way to display a piece of history and it’s the perfect option if you’re looking to really push the boat out.
